Province-wide drought:

We are sorry to inform you that due to a drought in Yunnan province, Kunming only has a water supply five hours per day. We are filling our on-site reservoir nightly, but it is sometimes not enough to get us through the next day without interruption. Fortunately the past couple weeks have been free of interruption, and we ask you to keep your daytime showers short to ensure this remains the case.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding!
